Hi Natalia,

I can see from previous support inquiries that you have successfully run the IDV
in the past. What has changed? I am assuming you are running the IDV on the same
computer. Is this correct? I also see you updated the version of the IDV from 
5.3
to 5.4.

My next suggestion would be to move your .unidata folder out of the way. For
example,

mv ~/.unidata ~/.unidata.bak

and then try to start the IDV.

One last question: Is your Linux machine a 32 or 64 bit Ubuntu Linux laptop?

uname -a

can answer that question.

Best,

Unidata IDV Support
